Shorten AHI Sabiki Rod

Does anybody know how to shorten an AHI sabiki rod? I'm thinking about just cutting it with a hack saw, but looks like the diameter of the rod tapers and may not fit correctly if I shorten it. Please help.

Thanks.

You can read my reply where you posted on BT, if no one else here has done that.

Thanks Grego.

I ended up cutting about 2 feet off the top piece and created a shim with the leftover piece. I stopped using this setup a long time ago. I'm taking out my newbie brother next week and wanted to setup something for him. I hope it works.

Some pictures. I'm thinking about gluing the shim to the top piece. What do you guys think?

Trob,

When you say you quit using this setup a long time ago, are you refering to the original Ahi stick, the conversion, or something else?

Thanks,
Brian
